As we mentioned yesterday, O’Death’s new album, Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin, was just released but we also wanted to remind all those in the New York area that their album release party is TOMORROW at The Music Hall of Williamsburg. We have a soft spot for the beautiful venue as it hosted our After the Jump Fest this year, so we are excited to return for such an awesome event. We’ll be there with bells and steal toed boots on.

Since we can’t say enough good things about O’Death and the new LP, we’re giving away a copy of Broken Hymns… to the 1st person to e-mail us!

This week’s set featured:

MP3: O’Death - All The World

O’Death’s newest album comes out today and despite our love for their first two, after one listen, Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin has hands down become our favorite. It has a more maturing sound which takes the band’s dark undertones out into the open with haunting and demanding string, intriguing lyrics and an overall sense of doom and foreboding which still ends up to be an album to listen to over and over to, with songs, which seen live, require their signature dancing and whooping.

One of our favourite tracks is actually the free ‘Low Tide’ with it’s frenetic pace and picked at violin strings. ‘Fire on Peshtigo’, is the first track where you really hear singer Greg Jamie’s vocals: an insistent vibrato that you end up missing on the following song but comes back later in the album. We are also a fan of the halted waltz ‘Mountain Shifts,’ it reminds us of ghouls dancing on Halloween. The musical shift that ‘Angeline’ makes for the band also stands out. ‘Angeline’ is a song you might even hear early John Denver or Dolly Parton sing in some of their darkest hours, two of our favourite singer songwriters of all time, has made this our most listened to track off the album.

O’Death is one of our favourite acts to see live, we’ll be checking them out Thursday in Brooklyn and suggest you do the same:
